Shroomgirl, I believe you are referring to Kiwana, or horned melon. It is really quite tasty. Wonderful sorbets. Next Wednesday for a breakfast banquet ,I will be splitting them in half lengthwise and hollowing them out and filling them with Tangelo segments.gold kiwi and blood orange with a strawberry papaya-champagne sauce. This is the first course, Followed by risotto cake with Scottish salmon and brie,wilted spinach grilled tomato, poached eggs and lemon Buerre Blanc. Also I got some Cheryomas today that I will make some puddings and sabayon. the Kiwano is one of those fruits that's not used to often because most are not familiar with it

They sure are unusual looking.
Breakfast sounds wonderful! Risotto cakes are a great starch alternative.
